How it started: We need to invade your privacy to stop terrorist plane hijackings!

How it’s going: We need to invade your privacy to rent you a carpet cleaner!

Have you heard of secureblue? A security-focused desktop and server linux operating system based on Fedora Atomic.  

Unfortunately Linux lags significantly behind alternatives when it comes to security features, like virtualisation based security, verified boot and application sandboxing.

secureblue attempts to address security concerns in traditional Linux distributions by significantly hardening existing components and systems. ✅🔒

With Proton VPN downloads skyrocketing in th UK, the Online Safety Bill has lead to fears that VPNs can be banned in the country entirely. Although the ruling Labour Government has ruled out a VPN ban, Tech Secretary Peter Kyle has issued a warning to VPN users.

“Adults should get behind the aid verification system, because every time they do it, you keep a child safe.” Kyle told The Telegraph last week in a warning: "If platforms or sites signpost towards workarounds like VPNs, then that itself is a crime and will be tackled by these codes.

UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill

Labour could ban the use of Virtual Private Networks after use skyrocketed in recent days.

The top story in cybersecurity this week is about a US app negligently leaking a trove of government IDs, meanwhile the UK government is completely confident that ID verification is totally safe 🤪

I like this post from @bert_hubert. People and organizations need a reminder that “the cloud” is just regular computers + vendor lock-in. On-prem/colocation is absolutely still viable, and honestly probably even easier & cheaper these days lol

Europe's Self Inflicted Cloud Crisis - Bert Hubert's writings

The short version For decades, governments and organizations could run services based on servers we actually owned. These days, we’ve allowed the IT world to convince us no computing is possible outside of US-style clouds, for which we have no European equivalents. And because of this conviction, we are now moving our most precious data and most critical services to US controlled servers. Yet most of European government software still runs on locally owned systems.

Privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.

It's common to be overwhelmed by the constant attacks on privacy we read about every day, and to burn out trying to fix every problem all at once.

This is by the attackers' design, of course. Big tech companies and governments want to paralyze you with choices and actions, so you give up on the fight entirely.

It's okay to take a breath, clean up slowly, and train yourself over the long-term to improve your data privacy health over time.

Privacy Is Like Broccoli

Improving privacy can get overwhelming at first. It's important to move one step at a time, but remain persistent. Good privacy is like good health habits.
